The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, will introduce the honorary award 'Community-Saviors' for the Day of Local Self-Government. This award will be presented to communities that actively assist the military and residents after shelling, facilitate evacuation, and restore housing and infrastructure.
Such communities play an important role in supporting the country's defense capabilities, providing humanitarian protection, and assisting frontline areas. They also help internally displaced persons and contribute to business recovery.
Our people show unity and solidarity every day, standing shoulder to shoulder with those who find themselves in difficult conditions of war.
The award 'Community-Savior' is a recognition of the hard work of communities that help in the most challenging moments. Their interaction and care for their compatriots support the unity of the country.
According to the president, this award is a gratitude to all who work for the benefit of communities and local self-government, contributing to the strengthening of community and solidarity in wartime conditions.
The ceremonial establishment of the 'Community-Saviors' award is an important step in recognizing the role and contribution of communities in supporting and protecting in emergency situations and conflicts. This will promote further cooperation between the authorities and citizens, as well as strengthen the country's defense capabilities as a whole.
